About
I am back, been gone awhile, it was needed.
Ok, Let's see .... I am a retired chef, a guitar player and a singer, my college time was spent in several bands and loving the thrill it gave. I was in Ohio at the time, 1975, and prior in high school in Indiana some small time garage band gigs. The band I was in in Ohio, Lickity Split, did a lot of work around Columbus as well as a couple of regional small tours. We opened for Edgar Winter Group, ZZ Top, and Grand Funk in 1975. I will never forget that time of my life. Now I play an acoustic mostly and sing for my grandkids, but if given the chance the road would take me away again.
I was also Military. A Ranger in a LRRP unit (Long Range Recon Patrol) and enjoyed that as well. Yes I know, two sides of a coin, but they have both made me what I am today. I ended my career in the Army as a helicopter (Cobra) pilot. I spent my career in places we never were. If you have a military background you will understand the meaning of this, if not, let's just say the United States Army is never NOT at war. They are just not all declared.
I am was a chef at a Wolfgang Pucks, now retired. I love Italian cooking and love to see peoples faces when they taste my food, always amusing.
Now I am studying to get a CEH cert and start my own business. As well as doing some recording and writing.
I have rambled on long enough. I am looking for friendships and conversations that will help with my writing. As far as other writers, I would be honored to hear from and relate to you. I am an open book, looking for a new life to explore and relish. The old one ended. Time for me to fly.........
